Abstract:

The Ballistic Missile Defense Organization proposes to install a launch cell simulator site adjacent to Boeings National Defense NMD Ground-Based Interceptor Development and Integration Laboratory GDIL, located at its Jetplex facility in Huntsville, Alabama. The purpose of the proposed action is to provide an interface between a launch cell simulator and its support equipment and other NMD hardware and software. This will enable the NMD program to improve interceptor missile design and simulate many operational scenarios before significant program resources are committed to the flight test program.
